Lean In and Level Up
Welcome to Lean In and Level Up—the podcast where real leaders get honest.
Hosted by Ashlie Marshall, a CFO, executive strategist, and no-fluff kind of leader, this show is your space to lean into the hard conversations that most people avoid, and level up through the lessons they teach us.
Because leadership isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about asking the right questions, owning your growth, and showing up with integrity—even when it’s messy.
On this podcast, we tackle:
- Transparent leadership (the kind that doesn't sugarcoat)
- Financial clarity that empowers, not confuses
- Accountability, ownership, and the courage to course-correct
- How to lead through hard seasons without losing your people—or yourself
- And what it really means to choose progress over perfection
You’ll hear from Ashlie and other leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday change makers who’ve walked through challenges, made bold pivots, and built something meaningful on the other side of the mess.
If you're ready to lead with more truth, build with more clarity, and grow with more intention—you're in the right place.
Let’s stop pretending and start progressing.
Lean in. Level up. Let’s go.
